What is the best way to get a SSL certificate for a domain, which is on a self-hosted server at home?
Are there free options which work, or do people tend to by a SSL service from the place they buy the domain?I’m also curious @phenomlab do you self-host Sudonix, on your own machine and internet? or do you feel it’s better to pay for hosting?

if you really are on a budget, there is always Let’s Encrypt which will give you a free certificate - however, it needs to be renewed every 90 days

I never self-host. This is for a variety of reasons, but it’s mostly around flexibility, backups, security and the like. My advice here would be to get yourself a VPS with Hetzner for example. They are very cheap and the resources are excellent. Support isn’t that great, but it’s no better or worse than you have now of course.

@phenomlab
I just took a look at Hetzner VPS, and the cheapest in list was £44.39 a month!
That sounds expensive for hosting?That was for Dedicated option though, do you use that or some shared variant?

@Panda Go for shared - don’t look at dedicated
